Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Fish all in one place

You didn't say how many were originally stocked. That will make a difference. Plus, this time of year, it only takes six or eight hours for the feed to be digested. There will be a few fish stay near the food source. But, others move away, foraging on their own. If original numbers stocked were low, there is enough natural food to keep them from being hungry. If you stocked fewer than 100 per acre, you may want to add more fish. That will make them more catchable due to added competition over time.
